Phil, I will attest to how great your custom Wash Mop is in helping with the washing of my cars. I have had nine spine surgeries and thought I would have to give up hand washing my cars. I could not believe how much easier it is now that I have your Wash Mop. I can wash two cars back to back in less time than I could wash one before with the breaks I had to take due to my lower back. Thank you for giving joy back to me in the washing of my cars.
When I started watching your videos, I had already purchased my Stelvio, and I was surprised to see you didn't have a red Quad. Once I saw my car in Rosso, I knew what I had to do. Compared to the Redline Red on my 350Z, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Get the Alfa. But be careful driving. I read today that Alfa Romeo drives get the most speeding ticket. Then the Golf GTI, DODGE RAM 1500, Maserati Gran Sports then the Subaru WRX.
I have a'21 AR Stelvio white/black/red, red calipers since mid April and NEVER have I had so many compliments for a machine as this. Had a woman BMW suv driver give me a shoutout across the parking lot. Yeah lots of admirers. ftw. 👍👍
@@thewatchtherapist5066 I have the tri-coat as well. Sometimes I wish it were a little bit deeper of a red, a little more like Mazda's Soul Red maybe. Love the Misano blue, especially on a QV! So many of the colors are nice, but I think my top 3 are Rosso Comp, Misano Blue, and Montecarlo Blue.
yes it cleans tires as well and it is a foaming product and I prefer to spray foam direct without pre rinse so foam sticks to vertical surfaces better and works longer
This rosso red is the cats ass on camera!! Nice choice again phil looks outstanding and u didn’t even polish or wax it yet.. did u notice the black surround trim on the headlights yet ? Ur other didn’t have it
Phil for all the effort you have made I’m amazed FCA/Alfa Romeo has not reached out to you personally they should been hooking you up with some press car loaners or something I’m a Lexus/Toyota guy myself by heart but I’m willing to give the Alfa a shot as you know you live once. To be frank if there’s one thing Alfa should do to win more ppl into there brand is to take a page off Lexus’s customer service. But man that Alfa Rosso Red is just stunning it just pops. Definitely persuading the wife to get the Giulia.
you can not, the buckets I have are impossible to find these days but i am sure there are alternatives you can find. My set up is about 12 years old its perfect for my process.
Never heard of rear-wheels getting dirtier than the fronts. You might want to get the F/R brake bias checked. Like the wash-mop but feel that you can't get into the tight areas with it causing you to have to use a mitt anyway.
Alfa for sure changed the brake pad compounds and programming of the brake system. actually lots of cars use more rear brake than the front one brand in particular is Acura on their FWD sedans over the years we always saw more wear and tear out back than up front its all in how the systems are designed and biased. the mop is great for simple washes as this video shows but my cars never ever get very dirty and on occasion i would use a mit down low during winter months
@@nexushexus4365 I have found that people get very upset if you correct their incorrect spelling of A.L.F.A. (they usually spell it alpha). Now imagine if I spelled lixos (lexus), masta (mazda) TNW (BMW) there would be an uproar.
@@autofanaticcars Yeah, I guess you wouldn't use it like that otherwise. But on video it made some worrying sounds when hitting the edges of the trunk.
The Rosso Competizione is better than the Alfa Rosso. Alfa Rosso is too flat and has no dimension. It doesn't bring out the beautiful lines of the car. You definitely need a metallic color on a QV.
Hey Phil, nice ride man! The part about where you say your foaming in direct sun light and there’s no worries about water spotting from the soap. Is this really true? I have a bottle of Adam’s Mega foam and Ultra foam and it makes the exact claim on the bottle. And it’s completely BS! Adam’s is mostly BS anyways on there products, but I’m willing to try your foam if this is the case. Sometimes I have no choice to wash in the sun and it can suck! I’m on the hunt for a soap that will do what it claims. Thx
you know the deal the big companies can not do what I am doing because of all their marketing expenses. this video was shot in direct sun 88 degrees 91% humidity hot as HELL and the car has zero wax or protection. Try our new soap i think you will throw that other stuff in the trash.
Hey Phil, Polish that you found might’ve been from the manufacture? I’m not sure at the Fiat plant if they take their time right out of paint to do some corrective paint work but maybe they did?
could be but the paint on this car is really good with the flatness and panel matching but you never know really. when the weather cools off il dive into it
yeah i was shocked but these wheels are heavy cast and not forged like the ones I had on the black QV so with a heavy cast wheel they always can take tons of weights i hate how they look but they are not staying on the car
@@autofanaticcarsagree weights are ugly, my local wheel shop in UK colour code them to the wheel. Have you ever thought about the loose weight balancing system, where the tyre fitter pores a media between your rim and tyre and when you start driving the media disperses to light spot? 🤔 I think
I would like to see it sanded down to 5000 grit, then it is time for the FLEX PE14-2 Rotary and my new GRIOTS GR3 Rotary to polish it into a fine mirror finish...you cant do it if you have a messed up back I been crippled 2-3 times from sciatic it's no joke!...
You are a fanatic for sure but it hurts me to watch how you hit the rims with the brush when cleaning them...and how you first brush the inner lower part and then the outer.. i would start on the outer side and on top...going towards the bottom and in the end the inner part... Iam looking to buy giulia veloce next year because qv is out of my paygrade for sure and I am so happy to see a man being satisfied when cleaning his car I know that feeling :) and I hope I will feel it soon... Love your channel keep on... Greetings from Slovenia
i can't see at night so no tint for me plus i love showing off the carbon Sparco seats its the cool factor of these interiors if you were lucky enough to get the seats as they are quite rare
I saw and commentend the video of the stelvio i subscribed youf channel in the italia guy, i cangive you an advise? Never wash cars in sun light!also he name of the color is ROSSO ALFAROMEO not alfa rosso 😀 love americans peoples i been there 2 times 3 months each love new york!
with my Auto Fanatic 007 Snow Foam soap you can wash in direct sun that is why its awesome only cheap soaps like most cause problems in the direct sun. We specifically designed our soap for such applications
when the car has sap dots all over as this wash showed i like to let my soap do its job twice and the pressure of the foam cannon acts as the pre rinse anyways combined with the soap it makes it easier to contact wash with almost no downward pressure on the paint.
do not comment unless you own these buckets and guards and have tried them FYI they work wonderful your just stuck on round buckets following everyone else.

Good choice!
Absolutely beautiful car and I'm seriously considering trading in my BMW for one. Definitely need to tint the windows.
I just love Alfas

Phil doesn’t tint his windows 😂😂. He’s said this a couple of times now
Windows untinted so people can see the owner of this beauty
@David Gotelli Good point.
This video is underrated
I have a'21 AR Stelvio white/black/red, red calipers since mid April and NEVER have I had so many compliments for a machine as this. Had a woman BMW suv driver give me a shoutout across the parking lot. Yeah lots of admirers. ftw. 👍👍
How much soap water ratio did you have in the foam canon? I love the red colour on any car.
2oz of our new 007 Snowstorm Soap in the new cannon see my video last month in the new Griots cannon its SICK!!
Thank for showing the Brilliant finish foam cannon... game changer for me
glad you also like it
When I get my 4C and my Stelvio QV,I'm going to buy some Auto Fanatic car care products. They seem to work very well.
I'm in love with this car. I hope I can buy one sometime. At least a 2017. :)
Very cool car. What if you could wrap those A and B Pillars with a carbon fiber vinyl to match the other accents?
that wash mop is pretty neat, where Can i get something like that?
i make them on my site but parts are backlogged so if you can wait go order off my site
I am almost sure he sells them along with his own brands of car cleaning products.
I have the Rosso competezione tri coat.. love that color too😍
The Tri Coat is probably the best color. The metallic colors really bring out the lines in the car. My Misano blue QV looks great in the sun
@@thewatchtherapist5066 I have the tri-coat as well. Sometimes I wish it were a little bit deeper of a red, a little more like Mazda's Soul Red maybe. Love the Misano blue, especially on a QV! So many of the colors are nice, but I think my top 3 are Rosso Comp, Misano Blue, and Montecarlo Blue.
Damn son. Looks incredible
I‘m glad I found your channel, keep up the work💪🏽
By far the best shampoo out there.
thanks glad you love it
Awesome car!
Thanks!
U spray the wheel cleaner on dry tires?
yes it cleans tires as well and it is a foaming product and I prefer to spray foam direct without pre rinse so foam sticks to vertical surfaces better and works longer
This rosso red is the cats ass on camera!! Nice choice again phil looks outstanding and u didn’t even polish or wax it yet.. did u notice the black surround trim on the headlights yet ? Ur other didn’t have it

To be frank if there’s one thing Alfa should do to win more ppl into there brand is to take a page off Lexus’s customer service.
But man that Alfa Rosso Red is just stunning it just pops. Definitely persuading the wife to get the Giulia.
Is that pressure washer stronger than the kranzel
Which color is this? The standard alfa red or the red competizione??
Alfa Rosso no metallic
Where can I find that two bucket set up you have here? Thx Phil.
you can not, the buckets I have are impossible to find these days but i am sure there are alternatives you can find. My set up is about 12 years old its perfect for my process.
Nice!! Good Luck with it. cant wait to see some winter driving vids with it lol

My dream car 💕👍
My too.wet dreams😄
Did they fix the ac issue with the water?
I certainly hope so
What towel did you use to dry the car and will it hold enough water to dry a whole car (coupe) ?
I’m pretty sure he’s using the griots pfm drying towel
Will you be buying aftermarket coilovers?
Full tint and this will be the best alpha I've seen :D !
i cant do tint because cops break balls here badly over that plus i cant see at night, i haven't had tint since 1996, now im showing my age ha ha ha
*ALFA
@@autofanaticcars it's crazy cops act like that over tint

You hit the trunk with the side of that wash thing. And also did a full wash in full sunlight.
FYI that wash thing is protected with soft rubber all around and is safe
@@autofanaticcars Yeah, I guess you wouldn't use it like that otherwise. But on video it made some worrying sounds when hitting the edges of the trunk.
Have any more information on the bucket/mop handle combo you use?
hi visit www.auto-fanatic.com webshop
@@autofanaticcars thanks! I don't see the bucket. Is it out of stock?
The solid red are beautiful👍 Compared with Rosso competizione?
i like the solid reds best on any car im only into some metallics like dark blues and grays every other color i prefer solid.
@@autofanaticcars With carbon details the solid red looks best. Dark blue metallic looks really nice tio
The Rosso Competizione is better than the Alfa Rosso. Alfa Rosso is too flat and has no dimension. It doesn't bring out the beautiful lines of the car. You definitely need a metallic color on a QV.
@@thewatchtherapist5066
Agreed on that one.
Do you use any coating for the glass?
never

@@autofanaticcars gotcha, I’ll give it a try. Can you use it just as a soap in a bucket too?
@@tundrawhisperer4821 yes u can!! The soap is amazing I have both of them the old one and new one ☝️
Hey Phil, Polish that you found might’ve been from the manufacture? I’m not sure at the Fiat plant if they take their time right out of paint to do some corrective paint work but maybe they did?
could be but the paint on this car is really good with the flatness and panel matching but you never know really. when the weather cools off il dive into it
what nozzle are you using at the end of the pressure washer wand?
Looks like an MTM Hydro Acqualine nozzle.
Look into an EZ Detail brush.. much better for the barrels & behind brake calipers
Gorgeous car!! Did you lease or buy?
How many wheel weights front 🤔
yeah i was shocked but these wheels are heavy cast and not forged like the ones I had on the black QV so with a heavy cast wheel they always can take tons of weights i hate how they look but they are not staying on the car

to bad they don't offer the CCB's on these anymore, I got them on mine and they are great!
I also got full stek PPF on mine
I would put PPF on the front hood and bumpers!
Beauty beast❤️
I love this car
Something about a lady in Red❤️👌🏼🇺🇸💪🏼
Awesome content. Personally, I prefer this wheels over the Technical wheels.
Love that red, bro
beautiful car
Is it OK to wash such a beauty in direct sun light?
if you use good soap yes you can our new soap is designed to be used in all conditions without issues
I would clear bra the car to protect the paint along with the ceramic coating : )
I would like to see it sanded down to 5000 grit, then it is time for the FLEX PE14-2 Rotary and my new GRIOTS GR3 Rotary to polish it into a fine mirror finish...you cant do it if you have a messed up back I been crippled 2-3 times from sciatic it's no joke!...
Car was clean
Keep the black package it’s awesome!!!!
Personally I think you are using the foam exorbitantly but who am I. The car is fantastic !
ha ha ha yes but when you make the soap its all worth it to have fun
You are a fanatic for sure but it hurts me to watch how you hit the rims with the brush when cleaning them...and how you first brush the inner lower part and then the outer.. i would start on the outer side and on top...going towards the bottom and in the end the inner part... Iam looking to buy giulia veloce next year because qv is out of my paygrade for sure and I am so happy to see a man being satisfied when cleaning his car I know that feeling :) and I hope I will feel it soon... Love your channel keep on... Greetings from Slovenia
don't worry i know how to clean my wheels ha ha ha the tools I use are custom made and super safe visit my site to learn more
@@autofanaticcars i know that you know what are you doing :) but the part of me cringes every time you gently hit the rim with the handle :)
Beautiful car but this is not the way to remove sap from a car DONOT WASH WITH A MOP...EVER!
Agreed - no chance with that pole mop. Way too much pressure
What a Feckin beauty.
Fireball Brazilian Wax if you don’t go ceramic coating. Insanely good wax
i gotta look into that one, I was considering a Zymol or Swissvax but not sure yet. Where can you buy this Fireball in the USA i cant find it
Tint those windows. I did mine because I hate it when people look at me.lol
i can't see at night so no tint for me plus i love showing off the carbon Sparco seats its the cool factor of these interiors if you were lucky enough to get the seats as they are quite rare
Like the car wash pole brush, not the price though. Ouch!!!
for the hours of fabrication and materials its not a money maker for me I do it for fun.
@@autofanaticcars I can imagine. You get what you pay for and I am sure the quality is great. The $20 Amazon ones will probably break after one use
Nice toy . :)
im the one who click the 400 like
I saw and commentend the video of the stelvio i subscribed youf channel in the italia guy, i cangive you an advise? Never wash cars in sun light!also he name of the color is ROSSO ALFAROMEO not alfa rosso 😀 love americans peoples i been there 2 times 3 months each love new york!

@@autofanaticcars i didnt notice that you got your ownsoap just noticed, nice, but any way i prefer wash in the shadow😂
You should completely rinse the car before you spray any soap, makes a huge difference!
when the car has sap dots all over as this wash showed i like to let my soap do its job twice and the pressure of the foam cannon acts as the pre rinse anyways combined with the soap it makes it easier to contact wash with almost no downward pressure on the paint.
Grit guards are doing absolutely nothing with those type of buckets!!!! SMH!!!!
do not comment unless you own these buckets and guards and have tried them FYI they work wonderful your just stuck on round buckets following everyone else.
So much black plastic on modern cars....and why only black interiors..as standard...?
